My plan is to work on working on the social emotional instruction we are going to incorporate into our co-taught science classes. I am also working on hands free team and community building lessons that we can use. I have started linking these to a google site so students with IEPs can easily navigate as well as students without IEPs.

We actually ended up planning some lab formats for our students for this next year. We decided that we will likely not have a lab during the first week and collected resources for virtual labs.

# data[].attributes.body
I made the decision to go with MS Teams and Playposit.  Thanks to all who input their experiences and to Kevin for the information to decide.  After that I have started collecting videos that are already set up and will finish that search and start working on getting videos set to post.  I also joined in a conversation with Katy W. to talk about how to set up for kids face-to-face lab. days.  I'm going with a 2 week cycle of a topic; having an intro video (likely), online activity, cornell notes which kids can then come in the first week's face to face to work on anything they need help with  and then prelab/hypothesis writing before then coming in face to face to collect data the second week
.  Hoping that the online Friday will be available to meet with classes online to set up break-out groups for kids to discuss/analyze their data and talk through what it means.

My common course team and I started discussing how to begin the year. We talked about using much of the first few weeks developing our class culture, and getting to know students so that if we go remote, we will have gotten the chance to form some relationships before we can't see them anymore.

Great discussion, able to share common concerns, started searching for resources to engage students both in person and remotely

I was able to get some tech questions answered, and then, realizing that Parlay might be my best option, I spent most of my time watching turorials on how to use it and exploring the Roundtables they have to offer.

rethink how I am going to start the first few weeks now that we are remote. Try to figure out some ways to build a positive, interactive culture even though I won't be able to meet them face to face.

Well, trash everything i did for monday until at least 2nd quarter and look at how can we rethink what we are doing to make it better than what the spring looked like, can we shift our mindset away from doing what we normally do with slight modifications, to what are the new fantastic things we can do to make this work / be better
